Once we look on charts there are a plenty of different ways to look on them ranging from a low time frame to very high time frame and everything in between, especially wants you want to a review a whole bear market or bull market you should switch to the higher timeframes, such as the year-over-year chart. This chart just shows how much the current price of BTC today is down in comparison to exactly one year ago on the same day, as bear markets on average on Crypto has lasted just about for one year.
Happily we can say that just recently BTC recorded its first day again where we were green year-over-year as about during this time we had the LUNA crash with prices below $25k. And not so happily we actually stayed under that market for 490 days, the longest ever!

Yes, even in the percentage-wise worst bear market in 2015 we were only below this mark for 386 days and this bear market we added about hundred days to that for 490 days of pure pain and torment upon us.
This just further augments the theory of how bad this bear market actually was, it would not be an understatement at all to call this at least the second-worst bear market for Crypto as multiple statistics are speaking for that and even more. Now we deserve an even bigger pat on our backs for surviving this night mare, Well done you all!
You make it seem like the bear market is over. I sure hope your right but don’t get to excited just yet
The next bull run will be biggest we’ve ever see
I swear i did not feel this year and a half. Time flies so fast.
>490 days of pure pain
Or you can interpret it as a good time to buy BTC at a low price.
One more indicator that confirm that 16k was the bottom
Of course. T’was the bear market after I decided to join the party…
How I felt about this bear market:
Can it end please?
Ok, the bear market is/was long, but the most important question is:
wen bull run?
Does make you wonder if the next bull will play out differently to what we all hope / expect
As miley said, it’s the climb.

I’m still not willing to say it’s over lol
The bear and world economy starting to recover brings me some peace, it’s been a slippery ride
>this bear market was…
You’re jinxing it! You’re jinxing it!
Didn’t have much BTC last bull run. Almost ready for the next one this time.
I’ve been a good boy during this bear market. Only focused on DCA into a few top coins.
Hopefully my good behaviour will pay off on the next bull market. 🤞
We’ve had more black swans than a large lake in England, it’s been quite the fucky few years..
This was a cocaine bear market
>it would not be an understatement at all to call this at least the second-worst bear market for Crypto
…or the 3rd best.
The last 12 months of DCA’ing have been glorious
It’s been so long that I’m used to my bag being in red, so when I see a small green is like Christmas time
When the bull market hits, y’all have no excuses it caught you unprepared. That’s a lot of time to accumulate and upgrade your shrimp status.
Life gets a bit easier when you stop thinking bout bull/bear cycles all the time and just enjoy the ride
Of course it being my first bear market it would be the worst ever. Still here though
It is hard to believe all this time has gone so fast. I feel 20 years older thanks to crypto
Better be a 490 day bull market or I’ll be highly pissed.
It seem time flies when your portfolio is blood red
1.5 year to go
And now I’m over here waiting for it to go under $30k to buy some more!
Lmao I love the subtle usage of past tense
Interesting. BTC year or year positive or negative determines a bull or bear market?
Shouldn’t 2018 to mid-2019 be red too?
Why does the title say “was” like the bear is over?
I believe the biggest difference between this bear market & past bear markets is that in prior bears, we did not know what the future of crypto holds, and if it would survive.
Now, I feel like everyone is damn near certain crypto is here to stay, and the future is bright
Bear market?
What?
Less extreme -% from the top though
If this bear market was a marathon, we just crossed the finish line with blisters on our feet and our portfolios gasping for air. Also, I cannot believe that time has passed so quickly.
Bull run when, can only live on ramen so long
This post feels like the “Mission Accomplished” banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003.
After a cold winter comes a much needed spring, bring on the bull
Thing is that bitcoin and crypto as a whole is that it is so deeply integrated into the financial system at this point, with institutional investors, and even large companies using it for daily operations… that even with market slumps there’s definitely gonna be another rally, along with regular spikes here and there. If crypto suddenly disappeared one day the entire world economy would be destroyed.
I mean have you noticed the entire market value of crypto and bitcoin in comparison to other markets and investment vehicles?
Housing lost 15 billion and it led to a major recession in 2008. All cryptos together are valued at 1.21 trillion right now. If they tried shutting crypto down on a realistic level, it would be ATLEAST another worldwide Great Depression. They wouldn’t dare. Just relax bears.
If you bears don’t like bear markets and see them as a “nightmare” instead of a very lucrative buying opportunity, then don’t short sell. Otherwise, don’t whine.
I love bear markets. Best chance to buy more before the great rally. Even if it’s years away. So just shut up and be patient. It’ll get there. Crypto isn’t for short sellers. Crypto rallies run on a 2-4 year time phase.
Just hold and you’ll have something to look forward to. Tf u mean nightmare lol
I’m ready for the next part. It feels like the start of the bull.
If the ETF is approved we are good to go.
How can you say year over year when 490 days isn’t even two full years?
And is not over.
Bull runs are though as they were known at least.
Wow. This time IS different.
I really don’t think it was that bad at all… our lows are higher than I expected
It’s because I bought some
and no, im not selling “I’m going down with the ship!”
Not bad, barely even noticed it anyways. Ready for the 4 year bear market at this point
First recession BTC is going through too.
Was?
